I rode off into the sunset the way cowboys always do
But ten miles west of Fort Worth my thoughts ran back to you
I could feel you there beside me, taste your tender lips on mine
You know there'll always be another bronc but true love is hard to find

Last night I found a soft place to fall, loving arms to ease me down
To a big old feather bed instead of cold hard ground
I still love the rodeo but with you I can have it all
'Cause last night I found a soft place to fall

I've run wilder than the horses that I set out to ride
My freedom was the one thing that I fought for all my life
But something in your gentle touch took the fight right out of me
I thought love was meant to tie me down but I've never felt so free

Last night I found a soft place to fall, loving arms to ease me down
To a big old feather bed instead of cold hard ground
I still love the rodeo but with you I can have it all
'Cause last night I found a soft place to fall
'Cause last night I found a soft place to fall
